And to Think We Started as a Book Club... #[nn]

A getaway car packed with dollar-sign-toting, sunglasses-wearing cartoon crooks speeding away from "Allied Bank" sets the perfectly absurdist tone for this 2025 collection of cartoons from The New Yorker's Tom Toro. The title's deadpan punchline — And to Think We Started as a Book Club… — hints at the dry, observational wit threaded through Toro's single-panel work, which has earned praise like Fred Armisen's cover-quoted "Funny. Expressive. Brilliant." Published by Andrews McMeel in 2025, this is a genuinely charming showcase for one of contemporary cartooning's sharpest comic sensibilities.
